Chapter 402 - 404: Want to Keep You by My Side
Such a group of extremely vicious thugs wouldn’t have been easy to handle, and Shao He understood that Pei Huaian did not want her to worry, yet she felt a twinge of sourness in her heart.
Pei Huaian didn’t care at all about how he had crawled out from a pile of dead bodies, nor how tough it had been to win this victory. As long as he could come back alive to see Shao He, it was his greatest fortune.
"Did anyone bully you in the Capital City these past few days? Did the Empress and the Second Prince cause you any trouble? Did Pei Jingyi do anything to you?"
Pei Huaian was worried she would be bullied in the Capital City since he was not there, and no one could back her up.
Shao He smiled and shook her head, moving closer to his side, "I am the Fifth Prince’s Consort, who dares to bully me?"
"As long as you and the child are fine, that’s all that matters." Pei Huaian’s suspended heart could finally rest easy.
Seeing his pale face and cracked lips, Shao He couldn’t help but feel distressed. She gently touched his exceptionally handsome features and murmured, "It’s my fault... I can’t help you with anything, I can only cause you to get hurt."
"Don’t talk nonsense. If it weren’t for you this time, how could I still be alive to come back? This is the second time you’ve saved me. I have nothing to repay you with, but only offer myself to you."
Pei Huaian held Shao He’s hands resting on his chest, his tone was doting and his eyes were deep, with his drooping lashes hiding the tumult of emotions in his gaze.
